Adin Hill

Hill started 2022-23 as backup to Logan Thompson and did well in that role with a 16-7-1 record, a 2.49 GAA and a .914 save percentage over 27 regular-season games. By the end of the campaign, Laurent Brossoit had also passed Hill on the depth chart, but Brossoit suffered a lower-body injury in the second round of the playoffs. Hill became the playoff hero with an 11-4 record, 2.17 GAA and .932 save percentage in 16 postseason games for the Stanley Cup champions. He faces significantly less doubt about his role entering 2023-24 -- Hill likely has a slight edge over Thompson to start Opening Night, though this could be a timeshare throughout the season. Vegas has a strong roster from top to bottom, so Hill should still be a solid No. 2 fantasy goalie this year.

Hill has spent the past four seasons in Arizona, playing at least 13 games in each of the past three years. His record over that span is 18-18-4, along with a 2.72 GAA, a .911 save percentage and three shutouts. He was traded from the Coyotes to the Sharks in July, as San Jose was determined to upgrade from the underwhelming duo of Devan Dubynk and Martin Jones. The Sharks also added James Reimer as an unrestricted free agent, and he and Hill appear likely to split time this coming season. A timeshare on a middling team is not conducive to fantasy success and as a result, Hill makes for nothing more than a late-round dart throw.

Hill made 13 appearances at the NHL level in 2019-20, recording a 2-4-3 record, a 2.62 GAA and a .918 save percentage. He also played in 20 games with AHL Tucson, notching a 2.40 GAA and .918 save percentage with the farm team. Hill signed a one-year contract extension with the Coyotes in September, but he'll almost certainly start 2020-21 in the minors. The 24-year-old goalie could be ready to see more time in the NHL soon, as No. 2 goalie Antti Raanta is entering the final year of his contract. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect to see much of Hill unless Raanta or Darcy Kuemper fall to injury during the upcoming season.

Hill has the natural advantage of being a huge goaltender at 6-foot-6 and 202 pounds. Last year, as a rookie, he went 1-3-0 with a 3.49 GAA and an .891 save percentage over four games with the Coyotes. Due to his relative lack of experience, Hill will have a tough time making a name for himself in the NHL. He's buried on the depth chart and will have to compete with the likes of Marek Langhamer and prospect Hunter Miska for the right to shine at the highest level in 2018-19.
